Siesta Key Public Beach has been rated again by Dr. Beach. This year, Siesta Key’s public beach was promoted to the #2 spot on Dr. Beach’s list of America’s 10 Best Beaches. This barrier island is a very popular place to live in Sarasota, not only because of the beaches, but also because of the stunning water views, luxurious privacy, numerous outdoor activities, and the stunningly beautiful luxury homes and condos on this barrier island off the coast of Sarasota, FL.

One really cool aspect of Siesta Key is that you don’t really need a car to get around. Every day you will see people biking, running, rollerblading, or walking on the sidewalks all over the Key. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxing, and beautiful, offering a variety of home options from custom-designed vintage Florida style to modern high-rise condominium living. Buyers have plenty of outdoor activity options as well as home style options.

life options

Siesta Key real estate offers everything from small villas to sprawling properties. No matter where you choose to live on the island, residents can choose an ocean view, a bay view, and/or direct beach access. There are some inland neighborhoods that do not have a view of the bay or the ocean. Many of the houses in these neighborhoods are on canals that meander through the island. Some of these channels do not have bridges into the open Bay and continuous access to the Gulf of Mexico. The home buying options are truly endless.

condominiums

Siesta Key is home to several great condominium communities that feature the amenities buyers seek in today’s real estate market. There are also smaller communities for those seeking more privacy.
